CURRENT MISSION

Curing Negativity... One Person at a Time.

ABOUT ME

Life is an Inside-Joke.

And the more I understand, the funnier it is; laughing at the endless bits and gags of the comedy of life.

Oscar Wilde said that "Life is too important to be taken seriously".
Those aren't words of apathy... those are words of dedication, man.

Spent nearly 3 years living in a Chinese in-land Industrial city... Doing business, some social development, and connecting with truly amazing people.

The most important things in life are:
Love. Gratitude. Respect. Attention. Moderation.
...everything else needs to take a number and get in line.

I Laugh frequently and with reckless abandon. Extra Bonus: It's good for your Abs.

I refuse to be a part of the rat-race.

I vote with my wallet. If I don't like the system, I don't buy into it.

I think books are awesome.

I think Ego is lame.

I don't live outside the box. This is no box.

I would babysit your dog when you go away.

I could prepare your taxes for you, but I'd rather spend longer teaching you to do them yourself.

I'm very interested in eastern philosophy, social progress, music, art, and human consciousness.

PHILOSOPHY

I'm a very relaxed individual. Where I grew up, people get upset about petty, pointless, dramatic things... I've become quite the opposite of that.

I live my life open to all possibilities, without fear of emotional pain or loss... We all build these silly emotional walls and I no longer see the point of it...

My goal in life is "Removing Limitations". Most limits in our lives are only in our minds. Let's be bigger than we are!

That enough? I can wank for hours....

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Couchsurfing is a lifestyle, not something I choose to "participate" in.
That's like asking: "how do you participate in Breathing?"

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

So many amazing people... many of which I hold dearly in my heart.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

A male and female chimpanzee cuddling in a zoo. Their subtle body language interactions, their eyes, the way she stroked his hair, and how he held her was more expressive than any love scene with words...
